Deviated Well VLP Analysis
Analyze vertical lift performance in deviated and inclined wells using correlations that properly account for inclination angle. Four correlations support non-vertical wells:
Multiphase Correlation Comparison
Compare pressure drop predictions from all ten industry-standard multiphase flow correlations. Understanding correlation differences helps engineers select the most appropriate method for specific well conditions.
Single-Phase Gas Well Pressure
Calculate pressure drop in single-phase gas wells using the compressible flow equations. Suitable for dry gas wells with no liquid loading.
Single-Phase Liquid Pipe Flow
Calculate pressure drop for single-phase liquid flow in pipes using the Fanning equation. Applicable to water injection, water disposal, and single-phase oil lines.
Tubing Size Selection Analysis
Compare pressure drops across different tubing sizes to optimize well production. Smaller tubing increases friction but maintains velocity for liquid lift; larger tubing reduces friction but may cause liquid loading in gas wells.
Vertical Lift Performance - Beggs & Brill
Calculate vertical lift performance (VLP) for a producing oil well using the Beggs & Brill (1973) correlation. This correlation handles multiphase (gas-liquid) flow and is applicable for any wellbore inclination.
